Manage episode 376159589 series 28495
#484: I talk a lot about risk and uncertainty, but one of the most counterintuitive lessons I learned from my time in finance, entrepreneurship, and design is that there is an upside to uncertainty.
Sometimes chance encounters we never would have expected break our path and launch us in a better direction. These are our happy accidents.
